How do UN seals keep control of the nuclear material? If the Marines could get in, the Iraqis could get in. The only impact of a UN seal is that the UN might, just might, know if the Iraqis used or moved the material.

If the Iraqis wanted to use material sealed by the UN, no one could stop them. The debating society would pontificate, but would never authorize any punitive action.

The Marines are far better equipped to safeguard nuclear material than the UN ever was.

Wait until they find a whole supply of replacement seals somewhere that an unnamed traitor traded them for an underage boy or girl.
